We use self retracting ratchet straps & E track, very fast and very secure. It also allows great flexibility if we need to use different equipment for different jobs. It does not matter that your only going a short distance and you are a great driver, accidents happen. You don't want your equipment coming loose causing a bigger incident or even just banging around. The real reason we tie down is the amount of money invested in equipment and I don't want all the dings and maintenance that comes with stuff banging into each other. You take pride in your job, take pride in your equipment.
